For Your Devotions:

Tuesday, June 9th is the memorial of Columba, Abbot of Iona, Missionary, died in 597.  He was born in about 521 AD and is traditionally credited with converting those Scottish heathens (my mum was born in Scotland) to Christianity. Columba was an Irish priest who, with 12 disciples, established a church and monastery on the Island of Iona as their home base for converting the Scottish. In Celtic Christianity, abbots like Columba had even more authority than bishops.  For more info:  https://www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-Columba

Thursday, June 11th is the Holy Day of Saint Barnabas the Apostle. He was born and raised as a Jew named Joseph but, shortly after Christ’s crucifixion, sold his property, gave all of the proceeds to the newly formed “Christian” community and spread the Good News with Paul. It was Barnabas who stood up for Paul when Paul first met the disciples in Jerusalem (Barnabas vouched for Paul’s conversion). After Barnabas and Paul went their separate ways, we hear little about Barnabas. Most of what we know is conjecture and legend but it is interesting nonetheless.

In the joy of Christ,
